    Hi @Steven Henry Suhendra

    Try this code:

    SELECT [No]
          ,[Code]
    	  ,CASE WHEN Code LIKE 'D%' THEN Departement END AS Departement
    	  ,CASE WHEN Code LIKE 'SD%' THEN Departement END AS Special_Departement
    FROM db.table;
    

    Best regards,

    Cosmog

    @Steven Henry Suhendra - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    To split a single column into multiple columns based on certain conditions, you can use CASE statements to populate each column separately. Here’s an example based on your provided table.

    Your goal is to separate the "Department" column into "Department" and "Special Department" columns. You can use SQL like this:

    SELECT 
        No,
        Code,
        CASE 
            WHEN Code IN ('D001', 'D002') THEN Department 
            ELSE NULL 
        END AS Department,
        CASE 
            WHEN Code IN ('SD001', 'SD002') THEN Department 
            ELSE NULL 
        END AS Special_Department
    FROM 
        db.table;
    
    
    1. The first CASE statement checks if the Code is either 'D001' or 'D002' and assigns the value to the "Department" column. If the code doesn’t match, it returns NULL.
    2. The second CASE statement checks if the Code is either 'SD001' or 'SD002' and assigns the value to the "Special_Department" column. If the code doesn’t match, it returns NULL.

    This approach will give you the output you’re looking for, with "Department" values in one column and "Special Department" values in another.
